I just finished some tasty helado (ice cream) in the beautiful Plaza Mayor that our group always meets at. I´ll try to post pictures sometime soon, it´s kind of hard to get internet access though, there is no wifi in my apartment. It´s pretty hard to talk to people still . My Spanish is not nearly as good in speaking as it is with the reading and writing. I can understand my teachers just fine and they talk very fast, but it is different on the streets with the locals. We had a placement exam yesterday morning that was part written and part oral. The written was actually harded than the oral though. I got placed up pretty high, at least from our group. It was probably luck though :)
Felicidad, or Feli, is my hostmom. When I got off the bus and they introuduced us, all of the other moms laughed because I was so tall, and she was soooo short. She is a cute litte lady. The food/food schedule is difficult to get used to. I guess I have only had one meal that I have had to force down the food. It was this bland, cream soup and then a whole plate of these tiny fish things, and hardboiled eggs filled with something, and that whole plate just had this pretty awful taste altogether. Oh well. She made me spaghetti the next day! And today was a spinach lasagna. The thing is, lunchtime is at 2, ant that is their biggest meal of the day, so they feed you a lot. I don´t want to be rude so I try to eat most of it. I love when she gives me bananas or apples or watermelon. The watermelon is delicious. She serves me hot milk in the morning--very different to say the least.
They are kicking us out of that lab. More to come later!
Love you and miss you all!
